Description Philippe Didier 2012-10-27 13:58:52 CEST

The problem is the same as it was for Mageia2
see bug 5533
see bug 4997
see bug 5536
see bug 6310
the workaround is the same as for Mageia 2 :
add the kernel option "rdloaddriver=pata_xxx" xxx being : via, amd, jmicron or piix depending on the hardware...


Unless it can be corrected, this workaround may be added in the Errata for Mageia 3  with the same text as for Mageia2

MGA3 Beta1 KDE LiveDVD seems to be OK :
no more need to use the workaround :add the kernel option "rdloaddriver=pata_amd"

so it can be closed RESOLVED FIXED, at least for this computer :

Computer with 
ASUS M2N SLI mainboard
Nvidia Geforce 210 graphic card
two internal SATA harddisks    (using sata_nv module)
one internal IDE harddisk      (using pata_amd module)
one external usb harddisk 
one external firewire harddisk
one internal IDE DVD writer    (using pata_amd module)
one internal IDE DVD reader    (using pata_amd module)


Anyone having a computer needing one of the three following modules:
 pata_via
 pata_jmicron 
 pata_piix
may try to test this LiveDVD and verify that :
the IDE harddisks appear as  /dev/sdx    and no more as /dev/hdx
the IDE DVD CD writer or reader appears as /dev/sr0   and no more as /dev/hdx
